"— The Hon. William H. Taft, President of the United States. CHAPTER XVI. FIXING VALUE OP RAILROADS. It is not in the original cost of a railway, nor in the condition in which maintained, but in the extent to which it serves to effectuate interchanges that a railway has value. The value of a railway lies, then, not in its phy- sical property, but in the use of that property. Value begins with use and increases as use increases. "But the value of property results from the use to which it is put ...and varies with the profitableness of that use, present and prospective, actual and anticipated. There is no pecuniary value outside of that which re- sults from such use. " (C, C, C. & St. L. Ry. V. Backus, 154 U. S. , 445) The things that secure a broad, extensive and profit- able use are, therefore, the things which give value to a railway. Among these are : 1. Location of the railway with reference to natural resources producing traffic. If two men were each to start to construct a railway in a country devoid of transportation facilities, one or the other would, in the exercise of a superior judgment, so locate his railway as to obtain a more profitable traffic.
